Great work.

I just wish there are other reasons behind stepping down: aging is a synonym of cognitive decline. Sad.

Dude, no. Aging is literally a series of bursts in realization of priorities of your life. Checks and balances of all the things you always wanted to do, the person you wanted to be, and never will.

Quoted from the article:

"Why It’s Time to Step Back

As I near 60, I’ve come to realize I simply don’t have the same mental sharpness or stamina I used to."

Decline in mind sharpness. Decline in stamina.

I would define that psychological process as “maturing”, as opposed to the more biological process usually referred to as “aging”. Although the two are usually highly correlated.

It is endlessly fascinating how deep the fractal patterns of interests go. I know of Arch of course but have never run across Arco.

From the post I can't tell it's actual reach or impact but it certainly seems to have been a significant piece of work in terms of scope.

I hope to still noodle on open source in my retirement (when it is time) but I could certainly see wanting to get out from under the many expectations.

Wow. Arco was my first introduction into Arch-based systems - it taught me invaluable amounts of information. I run Arch Linux now, but Arco always has had a special place in my heart. So sad to see it go.

mate, never heard of it. but reading that the maintainer has done gargantuan effort to make it more accessible to the masses, all I can say is thank you very much and may whatever endeavours you're going to take will be much more fruitful to you.

ArcoLinux was always one of my favorite linux distros, i have had a lot of fun using it, i have used it few times going and coming back to it, it had a sweet spot for almost every type of linux(arch) user, every DE you can think of, different installers,tons of customizations, the abilty to build your own ISO packed with your favorite apps and tweaks as far as you like, and i was always admiring Erek, the creator and maintainer of the project, an awesome guy who gave a lot to the linux community in my opinion, that's what set it appart from other linux distros, it was a full project, not just another distro with few tweaks, all i can say is thank you very much Erik, for the awesome journey we have had together.

I remember I enjoyed watching some of the youtube videos connected to this website when I was learning GNU/Linux more generally

These videos were a huge part of my linux learning experience, thank you for your work over these past years.
